Chapter 93 Let's become sworn brothers
Lin Shuang was truly impressed by her master's "astonishing words"!
She looked at Princess Liduan with pleading eyes, her face practically screaming, "Please shut up."
Princess Li Duan shoved her hand away unhappily, hummed softly, and turned to leave. In the distance, she caught a glimpse of a guest room door opening, and Lu Yangyang and Sheng Yunjiao, who had changed their clothes, came out. Without thinking, she ran over.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yangyang was much faster than her. By the time she caught up, Lu Yangyang had already pulled Sheng Yunjiao to sit down at the banquet.
Princess Liduan stood behind Lu Yangyang, panting and with her hands on her hips. She watched as Lu Yangyang quickly stuffed one banquet snack after another into her mouth. Not only did Lu Yangyang not notice her, but she didn't even raise her head once, even after she had been standing there for a long time.
Just then, a guest arrived and was about to sit next to Lu Yangyang when Princess Liduan's eyes lit up. She stretched out her long legs and stepped over first, sitting directly next to Lu Yangyang. She turned her head and stared at Lu Yangyang without blinking.
She refused to believe that Lu Yangyang couldn't see her!
Lu Yangyang genuinely didn't see her.
She was so hungry her eyes were practically glowing, and she was dragged to change her clothes before coming over. So as soon as she sat down, she couldn't wait for the dishes to be served again. She picked up the pre-meal snacks prepared for the banquet in front of her and stuffed them into her mouth.
Afraid of attracting attention, Sheng Yunjiao quietly and quickly switched her plate with the empty one after she finished hers, and then quietly moved the plate from the empty seat on the other side.
One person eats while the other changes plates; their teamwork is excellent.
Fortunately, Sheng Yunjiao still managed to find Princess Liduan.
"May I ask what brings you here, Princess?" Sheng Yunjiao's tone was a bit unpleasant. She hadn't forgotten about Princess Liduan causing trouble in the garden. Her principle with someone like Princess Liduan, who was typically a bit dim-witted, was to stay as far away as possible.
It makes me annoyed when I see it.
"I'm here to eat, what do you think I'm doing here?" Princess Liduan said, but her eyes never left Lu Yangyang for a moment.
They were clearly targeting Lu Yangyang.
"Princess, if you're looking for fun, go somewhere else. Yangyang just helped you, so don't cause trouble." Sheng Yunjiao was afraid that Princess Liduan wouldn't understand her words if she spoke too tactfully, so she started to shoo her away very bluntly.
To everyone's surprise, Princess Li Duan nodded generously, "You're right. I've always been grateful for kindness, so I'm here to repay that kindness. From today onwards, you'll all follow me."
"Pfft!" Sheng Yunjiao almost spat out her drink, wondering if she had misheard: "What did you say? Say it again?"
Princess Liduan raised an eyebrow: "Are you deaf? I'm telling you, Lu Yangyang, I'll protect you from now on!"
"You, you, you!" Sheng Yunjiao's eyes widened. "You're protecting her? Yangyang doesn't need your protection. Don't forget to flatter yourself, okay?"
"Sheng Xiaosi! How dare you speak to me like that! Believe me or not, I'll have someone slap you right now!" Princess Liduan stared at Sheng Yunjiao with an arrogant expression.
Sheng Yunjiao almost rolled her eyes to the sky. She was indeed a little wary of Princess Liduan, who was prone to stubbornness. But they were all in the same circle, and everyone knew who she was. Princess Liduan was all bark and no bite, and she was all talk and no action. If they really started fighting, the Princess would definitely not let her off when they got back!
The eldest princess may dote on her children, but she doesn't spoil them at all!
Therefore, Sheng Yunjiao wasn't very afraid of her.
With the two of them talking back and forth like this, it was difficult for Lu Yangyang to pretend she couldn't hear them.
She took a sip of water and smoothed out the pastries she had just eaten before slowly turning her head to look at Princess Liduan, who had been staring at her for a while: "May I ask what brings you here, Princess?"
Princess Liduan blinked.
She blinked again.
Lu Yangyang: "Hmm?"
Princess Li Duan grasped Lu Yangyang's hands in both, her eyes shining: "Let's become sworn sisters! From now on, we'll be sworn sisters, of one heart and one mind!"
Lu Yangyang: "..."
For some reason, this scene felt strangely familiar.
She silently turned her head and glanced at Sheng Yunjiao. Sheng Yunjiao's eyelids twitched, and she instantly understood the meaning of Lu Yangyang's look. Back then, when she eagerly ran to Lu Yangyang to form an alliance to deal with Sheng Yunzhu, it was also in this way... cough cough, flattery.
However, she wouldn't need to form a sworn brotherhood.
"What a stroke of luck," Sheng Yunjiao thought.
She picked up the cup and took a sip of water to calm her nerves.
Lu Yangyang was speechless for a while, then used her hand to pry open Princess Li Duan's fingers: "Princess, I have no intention of becoming sworn sisters with anyone."
Princess Liduan was shocked: "What? You actually disagree? How could you disagree? Do you know who I am? My uncle is the emperor! If I become sworn sisters with you, then the emperor will practically be your uncle, and you actually refuse me?"
Princess Li Duan was truly, truly baffled.
Sheng Yunjiao, who had just taken a sip of water to calm her nerves, couldn't hold it in any longer and spat it out.
"No, Princess, did His Majesty agree to your plan to find him a niece?" Adding an uncle too? How could she even think of that?
"We are sworn sisters, why do we need the Emperor's uncle's approval? He'd love to be an uncle, what a wonderful thing! Is there anything more?" Princess Liduan looked puzzled, thinking that Sheng Yunjiao's question was nonsense.
Sheng Yunjiao: "..."
Excuse me, I admit I was being nosy. I knew all along that Princess Liduan's thought process was unusual, but today I've truly witnessed it firsthand.
“Lu Yangyang, did you hear me? You…” Princess Liduan rolled her eyes at Sheng Yunjiao and continued to try to persuade Lu Yangyang.
"I disagree." Lu Yangyang rejected her very decisively.
Princess Liduan pouted, looking a little annoyed and a bit wronged.
Seeing her mistress's discomfiture, her maid Lin's eyes lit up for a moment, but she immediately coughed lightly and quietly advised, "Princess, you and Miss Lu have just met and don't know each other well yet. Why don't you become friends first, and then you can become good sisters in the future!"
Good heavens, I hope their county princess can really make some good friends this time! I'll go burn incense for the God of Marriage tonight; I need to take care of the marriage thread, and I'll also try to tie the friendship thread while I'm at it.
Upon hearing this, Princess Liduan readily agreed, saying, "Yes, yes, alright then. From this day forward, I hereby declare that Lu Yangyang is my friend!"
Lu Yangyang gave her a complicated look. This person was talking to herself and must have some skills.
Lu Yangyang neither accepted nor could refute it. She was very simple in her dealings with people; just don't fall into her trap.
At this moment, the dishes that had been prepared earlier for the banquet had been reheated and served. Lu Yangyang completely forgot about Princess Liduan and picked up her chopsticks to join the battle.
Sheng Yunjiao had little appetite, so she started gossiping about Princess Liduan.
"Princess, what brings you to my second brother today? Didn't you always complain about his flamboyant style and how he was prettier than you, and that you couldn't stand him? Why are you bothering him today?"
